There is a common misconception that kilts are only for formal occasions, specifically weddings. We are here to tell you that you can wear your kilt with your favourite shirt and a pair of boots. There is no bad time to wear your cult. There are no set rules, and if you are comfortable then you should always do it.
Every man has a different style, but we have compiled a list of tips for casual kilt wearing.
You can wear kilts for any occasion. They are great options for instances where you need to have more freedom such as hiking or driving for long periods of time. In and outside of Scotland, you’ll find men casually wearing their kilts out and about on the streets, local pubs, and sometimes even at work. You can wear your kilt anywhere that you wear your jeans!
How to Style Your Kilt for Everyday Wear
Like any other outfit, how you style your kilt will depend on where you are going and the weather. It always encourages you to be creative with your personal tips, but here are some styling tips to help you along the way.
Your Kilt
You can choose from a custom kilt or an already made kilt. Both are great options and will depend on your style and budget. You’ll want to go for a warm muted tartan that you can wear with a varying range of colours in any season.
Your Shirt
Choosing a shirt to wear with your kilt can be tricky. You should go for a collarless shirt, in the warmer months, and a chunky knitted jump for autumn and the winter months. To tie everything together we recommend choosing a colour that is complementary to your kilt’s tartan. You’ll want to avoid very busy patterns or something with too many graphics. Whatever top that you choose, make sure that you tuck it into your kilt for a casual put-together look.
Foot Wear
Most men pair their kilts with boots. Black leather boots are a great combination of tradition and style. You’ll want to go for a kilt hose that matches your tartan’s colours or hiking socks and push them down to the tops of your boots to create a stylish cool look. If boots aren’t your thing you can go for casual brogues, suede brogues, or boat shoes.
Accessories
The easiest way to dress down your kilt is to not opt for a full dress sporran. Instead you should go for a casual day sporran.
Remember to have fun and stay true to your personal style when wearing your kilt casually. For all of your kilt needs come into Tartantown!
